Grease trap cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dinton
A grease trap is the kitchen drain’s first line of protection. When it’s looked after, you hardly know it’s there but left too long, it causes trouble. Routine cleaning keeps it in good working order. Typical jobs include washing-up water that won’t drain away and an overdue grease trap, across school and care home kitchens, under-sink grease traps and kitchen waste pipes.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dinton before we set off.
- We start by finding the trap and checking its inlet and outlet.
- Nothing drains into the trap while it’s open.
- The trap is emptied of grease and food waste.
- The inside, baffles and pipe connections are cleaned.
- The trap is reassembled, checked for leaks and the waste taken away.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Dinton
Some kitchens try to fix slow drains with hot water or drain cleaners. It just shifts the grease further along, where it sets again. The lasting fix starts with the trap. Planning a trip to Dinton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease trap cleaning will not do:
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

How the job changes from site to site
Under-sink grease traps
Small grease traps sit under the sink. Their small size means they fill fast, so they need frequent emptying.
School, care home and staff kitchens
In schools, grease traps can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed or after lunch service.
Commercial kitchens in Dinton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs across Dinton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Dinton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Dinton, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St John's Hospital, about 1.2 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Dinton. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of Saints Peter and Paul or anywhere in Dinton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Waddesdon Manor is about 4 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Dinton
Which environmental health team covers Dinton?
That’s Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dinton. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can you get to a site in Dinton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dinton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
That depends on the trap and the kitchen. Small under-sink units fill faster than larger traps and the busier the kitchen, the faster it fills. We will recommend a schedule once we have seen it.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if a grease trap is not cleaned?
Once it’s full, grease passes straight through. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
